I'm just pointing out your beliefs.
No hole.
hey Rick...
a grown man whose only mission is to make a special point (on every thread) of
claiming to not know, nor needing to know that Jesus Himself was crucified for the very reason that He 'made Himself equal to God'....not only has a serious problem himself, but those who are willing to compromise the truth...well.
let him answer for such a mission, on the last day.
Jesus not only never denied He was making Himself equal with God, He affirmed it.
He used the very Name of God the jews knew....through Moses - I AM.
a 7 year old knows the Word was God, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
God said all along He would do just that.
Jesus said His words were what would condemn people on the last day, those who refuse to believe Him:
23And he said to them, “You are from below and I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.” 24“I said to you that you shall die in your sins, for unless you shall believe that I AM THE LIVING GOD, you shall die in your sins.”
John 8
1But Yeshua went to the Mount of Olives, and in the morning he came again to The Temple. 2And all the people came to him, and when he sat, he taught them. 3But the Scribes and the Pharisees brought a women who had been seized in adultery, and when they stood her in the midst, 4They were saying to him, “Teacher, this woman was taken openly in the act of adultery.” 5“But in The Written Law of Moses, he commanded that we shall stone such as these.” 6“What therefore do you say?” This they said, as they were tempting him, so that they might have something for which to accuse him. 7But as they persisted asking him, he stood up and he said to them, “He among you who is without sin, let him first cast a stone upon her.” 8And stooping down again, he wrote on the ground. 9But when these heard, they were exiting, one by one, beginning from the Elders, and the woman who had been in the midst was left alone. 10But when he stood up, Yeshua said to the woman, “Where are they? Has no man condemned you?” 11But she said, “Not even one, LORD GOD”; and Yeshua said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on, sin no more.”
12And Yeshua spoke again with them and he said: “I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Light of the world. Whoever follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall find the light of life.” 13The Pharisees were saying to him: “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not true.” 14Yeshua answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, because I know from where I have come and where I am going, but you do not know from where I have come and where I am going.” 15“You are judging carnally; I am judging no one.” 16“But even if I do judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and my Father who has sent Me.” 17“And in your Written Law it is written: 'The testimony of two men is true.' “ 18“I AM THE LIVING GOD, I who testify about myself, and my Father who has sent me has testified about Me.” 19They were saying to him, “Where is your Father?” Yeshua answered and said to them, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.” 20He spoke these words in the treasury as he taught in The Temple, and no man seized him, for his hour had not yet come.
21Yeshua spoke again to them: “I am moving on and you will seek me and you will die in your sins, and where I am going, you cannot come.” 22The Judeans were saying, “Will he now kill himself?”, because he had said, “Where I am going, you cannot come.” 23And he said to them, “You are from below and I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.” 24“I said to you that you shall die in your sins, for unless you shall believe that I AM THE LIVING GOD, you shall die in your sins.” 25The Judeans were saying, “Who are you?” Yeshua said to them, “Even though I have begun to talk with you, 26There are many things for me to say and judge concerning you, but he who has sent me is true, and those things that I have heard from him, these things I am speaking in the world.” 27And they did not know that he spoke to them about The Father. 28Yeshua spoke again to them: “When you have lifted up The Son of Man, then you shall know that I AM THE LIVING GOD, and I do nothing for my own pleasure, but just as my Father has taught me, so I am speaking. 29And he who has sent me is with me, and my Father has not left me alone, because I am doing always what is beautiful to him.” 30When he was speaking these things, many trusted in him.
